Grandma Sez - Here we be, a welcomin' Spring, an' Easter time, once more. Th' Great Power, manifestin' th' magic o' new birth, ever'where, gives a body a new hope f'r mankind. Wonderful things a happenin', in nature, which man has ne'er been able t' imitate, wi' all his scientific know-how, causes us t' stand in awe, a seein' th' miracles take place. I've heard a lot o' folk, in me own time, say, "Oh, that's just Nature," an' acceptin' it all, as a matter o' fact. But there's a message f'r us in th' breakin' forth o' a bud. r th' greenin' o' th' grass, a little shoot from th' dry ol' root, that looked like a dead thing, a lyin' on th' ground. What miracle keeps th' spark o'life, embosomed in th' heart o' a tiny seed, me thinks we'll ne'er know. As I write this to me readers, I look out me window at a little tree, a bit taller than this granny, wi' beautiful pussy-willows, a turnin' gold wi' th' pollen. Only two seasons ago it was a small twig in a bottle o' water, an' me daughter brought it an' planted it there, so's this ol' lady might watch it a grownin'. But, wi'out th' blessed water, th' life in it would ha' died. There's so many things, which ha' blessed our lives, an' which we seldom consider. Man. wi' his ingenious ways, learned t' make the sparklin' liquid handy t' folks, by pipin' it in. under pressure. There seemed t' be endless supply o' th' life-givin' fluid, an' people seemed t' not give a thought t' conserve it, exceptin' when th* bill from th' water department came in. Th' sad part is that th' beautiful rivers an' streams were used as sewers, an' pollution spoiled all th' bounties they afford. It ain't like lettin' th' house git dirty, ?n' then a gittin' busy t' clean it up. It takes a lot more time, f'r Mother Nature t' clean house, if we gi' her a hand. When a body does a little thinkin' about things, th' way they are, an' how they got that way, we realize that there's been a lot o' waste involved, too. Instead o' savit)' th' waste, an' turnin' it back into th' earth, we've damaged our wonderful heritage, Mother Earth. Have a thought, in mind, this Easter, as ye pray, an' enjoy th' lovely time, o' NEW LIFE Grandma Radtke T.H.E.O.S. Group Sees "Camelot" The T.H.E.O.S. group at the First United Methodist church of McHenry met for its March meeting with fifteen in attendance.

HARVARD HOSPITAL Andrew Turek of McHenry was admitted as a patient to Harvard hospital rpofntiv President Lockerbie ex­ plained to the McHenry Senior Citizen club members Monday, March 28, that the proposed Walk-In center to be established at the Moose hall in McHenry is a project of the McHenry County Senior Citizens council and in no way connected with the local club. The McHenry Senior Citizens club, Inc. is not sponsoring this project, which is to be govern­ ment funded, as its club is a separate organization entirely, and will in no way be involved in the management of the center. The Walk-In center is ex­ pected to open about May 2, but will not be serving lunches right away. Any Senior Citizens are welcome to avail them­ selves of the facilities the Walk- In center will provide. John Doerr reported the bus April 20 for the trip to the Police Communications center and Fire Academy, with luncheon served family style at a Chinese restaurant is filled. The bus will leave the McHenry. State bank parking lot at 9 a.m. Mr. Doerr reported a bus- luncheon-theater trip to Shady Lane at Marengo May 25 to see "Busy Body".

Mr. Doerr will also try to arrange a trip to the races, and also a trip to the Playboy club at Lake Geneva with a boat ride There will be more in­ formation on these events at the next meeting. Mrs. Clara Knetzer, loop bus chairlady, advises two seats still available for the April 13 trip. The bus leaves the McHenry State bank at 8:45 a.m. She is taking reservations now for the Loop trip May 11. Mr. Doerr advised there are only a couple of reservations still available for the June .13 five day trip to Mackinac Island. Get reservations and deposit in to Mrs. Louise Giel promptly.

Happy Birthday was sung to members celebrating bir­ thdays at this time, however, there were no members celebrating anniversaries in attendance. Because Frank Giel had to resign as bowling chairman, a position he has filled so ef­ ficiently for so many years, President Lockerbie found it necessary to call a special meeting for the bowlers Wednesday, March 23 at East Campus, to arrange to appoint a new chairman. Fifty-five bowlers attended this meeting, and after some discussion, it was decided unanimously to have a com­ mittee, with Jim Zednik as chairman, and Evelyn Sandell, Agnes Magnuson and Paul Leubscher as associates. Jim Zednik appointed Joe Krenek to act as relief for any associate absent. It will be the duty of Evelyn Sandell, who will be in charge of the Tuesday morning group, to turn over the score sheets each week to Jim Zednik. Agnes Magnuson and Paul Leubscher will have charge of the Tuesday afternoon group, and will have the same responsibility. Jim Zednik bowls with the Friday group, so will be in charge of them. The rules for the bowlers clearly define that they cannot bowl unless their dues are paid, so any bowlers delinquent in their dues should get them paid to be eligible for bowling. The delightful program for the evening was given by the McHenry Choral group, con­ sisting of selections from their upcoming spring program including: "Russian Picnic", "Czechoslovakian Dance Song", "Three Little Maids", "Vienna, My City of Dreams" and an amusing selection, "The Future Mrs. 'Awkins". Mrs. Giel has tickets for the Choral club's spring program "AGF; 3 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1977 3:30 p m at Landmark school Saturday.
